Rathfinny Reserved 2019 Mixed Cases

Rathfinny Reserved 2019 Mixed Cases

We are delighted to invite our valued customers to reserve an allocation of our prestigious 2019 Blanc de Noirs and Blanc de Blancs at an exclusive case price for a limited time only. Please note, these wines can only be purchased by the case (6 bottles per case), with the minimum order being four cases (24x75cl bottle cases). All wines will be fully dressed with a foil and label prior to release.

The 2019 vintage marks a turning point in our Rathfinny winemaking ethics as all Sussex Sparkling wines from the 2019 vintage onwards will now be classified as vegan. After careful deliberation and experimentation, we’ve chosen a vegan-friendly fining agent that does the job perfectly.

Tasting Notes

2019 Blanc de Noirs: Pale topaz in appearance with an aromatic nose of cherry blossom and boysenberry, a finely textured mousse of Orange Pippin apple and fresh pomegranate with a twist of ruby grapefruit on the finish. 

2019 Blanc de Blancs: A translucent ivory effervescence leads to a decadent nose of Sorrento lemons drizzled over baked brioche, a rich palate of ripe greengage and buttered shortbread with a prolonged, starfruit sherbet finish. 

The Vintage

In 2019 we experienced above average temperatures for most of the year although the picking season was one of the wettest in Rathfinny harvesting history. Our strong team of 200 local pickers harvested 485 tonnes of excellent quality fruit, free from disease and an impressive 19% increase on our 2018 yield.

PRAISE FOR OUR PREMIUM WINES

These two styles of sparkling wine offer a true reflection of our Sussex terroir and have a history of being a favourite among the critics. Will Lyons (Sunday Times wine columnist) described the Rathfinny 2016 Blanc de Noirs wine as: “Decadent and World Class,” whilst Jamie Goode (WineAnorak.com) called our Blanc de Blancs: “One of England’s finest.”

Co-Owner of Rathfinny, Mark Driver states, “These wines are a superb reflection of Rathfinny’s incredible terroir and 2019 proved to be a great vintage for us. One of the inevitable challenges of operating a premium wine business is satisfying demand as we only bottle wines from grapes we have grown on our Estate. We have therefore created Rathfinny Reserved to enable fans of our wines to reserve cases of our future releases.”

Co-owner, Sarah Driver suggest, “If you have a big event coming up in 2023/4, this is a great way to ensure that you and your guests can celebrate with our premium Sussex Sparkling wines.”

PAYMENT & DELIVERY DETAILS

The price of the wine is £27 per 75cl bottle (£39.50 RRP). All Rathfinny Reserved wines are sold ‘under bond’ which means the wines are stored in our secure temperature-controlled Cellar and once released in 2023, excise duty and VAT will be payable. You will be notified when this payment will be required.
